This article is more than 10 years oldI've tried to be understanding, but he gets angry and says I'm making him feel like a freak. What can I do?I am a woman and my male partner of 13 years likes to dress in my underwear. This started six months into our relationship. I was shocked at first but have tried to understand and read about it. Now his dressing up has escalated to him wanting to go out with my underwear on. I have reassured him about this, however my support has angered him and he says I am making him feel like freak. He doesn't even ask how I may be feeling about all of this. What should I do?
